The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 87 THE BATTLE BEYOND THE CONFINES OF THE CITY OF ARTHIA
In the kingdom of Amerta....
Dhafin and Kayshila were quite free to go around the city with them doing disguises. Although upon entering the entrance gate of the city, they were examined by the guard soldiers quite strictly.
Had they not done disguise, they would have been found out. Because at the entrance gate was emblazoned the names and pictures of people who became fugitives of the kingdom.
Among the royal fugitives are Dhafin, Brian, and Grand Princess Aurellia.
Dhafin was surprised to see the image of his face when he was grown exactly the same as his face today. But once knowing that Princess Rayna also has magic, she is not surprised anymore. This must be his job.
Dhafin and Kayshila had already visited the place where the Kejora Palace once stood. Dsn was indeed in that place no longer did the Kejora Palace stand. What now stood firm and majestic was the Princess Military Academy.
According to the story of the citizens of Kotaraja that the place of military education was established by King Darian to commemorate his missing daughter. Originally, the military school was called the Princess Aurellia Military Academy.
But once King Adrian who became the ruler of the name of the last word of the school was removed. So it became the school until now called the Academy of Military Princess. And there was a special princess who went to school.
Dhafin also still had time to get a story from the residents that the cause of the destruction of the Kejora Palace was caused by a powerful force that hit the palace. So hard is the explosive power of the magic energy, to shake the entire city.
About 100 more guards and servants of the Kejora Palace were victims in the incident. The Grand Princess and her four friends were not found. The people of the palace at that time strongly suspected that they were kidnapped.
When Dhafin asked who the four friends of the Great Princess who were kidnapped were. So the citizens replied that they were Miss Ariesha, Miss Grania, Namira, and Naifa.
The resident also added that since the loss of Princess Agung and her four friends, not long after the disappearance of most of the participants of the martial tournament at that time, both boys and girls.
After being satisfied with information about the destruction of the Kejora Palace and the mysterious disappearance of many children, Dhafin invites Kayshila to monitor his home and Grania's home from a distance.
Dhafin decided to monitor in advance to guard the possibility of not to let the house of General Felix, his adoptive father was already occupied by government officials King Adrian.
And it turns out to be true. The mansion was occupied by the government of King Adrian. Similarly, the house of Grania, no longer occupied by the family of General Lyman, but also occupied by officials of King Adrian.
Where are Dhafin's mother and 2 adopted brothers and General Liyman's family now?
After monitoring the two residences, Dhafin searched for information on where his family and Grania's family were now. While Kayshila always faithfully accompanied the lover in every action.
While looking for information, he invited Kayshila to meet some of his acquaintances in the city as a child first. Among them are Gibson and Chafik. Who knows if they know where Grania's family and family are.
But unfortunately, it turns out that some of his acquaintances no longer exist. According to the residents, they were also victims of kidnapping.
Unfortunately, no one knows where her family and the Grania family are. All they knew was that the servants of the house of the two families were slaughtered by King Adrian's army.
But people have not heard from them that they have been killed. Because every official of King Darian's government and his family, if killed announced to the entire Kingdom of Amerta.
In the usual way Dhafin could not find the two families. Finally he searched for them by deploying the Aura Sukma Trace Science.

One afternoon outside the border of the southern town of Arthia was about 7-8 miles away....
The heat of the sun in broad daylight was apparently not a significant barrier for more than 3000 Bentala Kingdom palace troops. They continued to move down a wide and lofty road.
The road is indeed the main route from Kotaraja to the northern region of the Kingdom of Bentala. And that's the easiest and closest route to the north. It just has to pass through a valley that is quite deep and wide.
That considerable palace army just kept moving into that vast valley. Currently half of the palace troops were inside the valley.
Some are still on the slopes of the valley that is not too steep. Some are still outside the valley.
The force consisted of an equestrian army and a pedestrian army. Among them there were about 1000 archers who drove horses.
The sizeable army continued to move increasingly into the valley. And not long after, the entire army was already in the middle of the valley.
And not long ago they went down the road in the middle of the valley, suddenly from the rear of the troops left and right above the valley slid hundreds of arrows quickly and smoothly.
Swiiing...! Swiiing...!
Swiiing...! Swiiing...!
So fast and smooth launching the two groups of arrows, the rear troops realized too late. So that hundreds of arrows were stuck in their bodies without mercy. Then for a moment there were screams of death following each other.
Of course the sudden incident made all the troops who had not been able to be surprised not play. No exception to the commanders and champions of the palace.
But not yet their shock vanished, again gliding hundreds of arrows from the same two directions. And this time 2x in a row. So that the number of arrows targeting the palace troops increased.
Just now the commanders ordered his troops to take cover behind their respective shields, suddenly again from the top of the valley of the front of the troops to the left and right also glided hundreds of arrows that are not less fast and smooth.
And this front is not just once. Will be 3x in a row. So that the number of arrows that rained down on the troops reached thousands. So that when viewed like a heavy rain that suddenly fell from the sky flushed all the troops and mounts.
Because so much rain of arrows coming, especially from 4 directions in front and back, although there are still had time to protect themselves with a shield, especially from the 4 directions, but many did not have time to take cover behind the shield.
So that for a moment the valley again sounded screams of death that shrieked as high as the sky. Attacked by uniformed bodies and animal mounts colliding with each other following.
While the commanders and dozens of squad heads and 100 more palace champions were busy dispelling the rain of arrows leading to them with their respective weapons. But there were still some among those who were hit by arrows. Not even a little.
While the others, despite surviving from being stuck in arrows, but their horses did not survive. Those who survived could only stand on their feet.
★☆★☆
It was only a few moments when the tragedy of the attack suddenly happened. But the results were both astonishing and terrifying. At least half of the palace's troops have died without lives.
Seeing the heartbreaking reality made the military commanders and the palace champion leaders growl half dead.
Currently they could only be confused as well as irritated in their respective places. Because until now they have not been able to ascertain where the sudden arrow attack came from.
But they seem to have put up full vigilance. Their pair of eyes never escaped observing the surroundings. Weapons still clutched in each other's hands.
While the entire team also seemed to be on full alert. The sword weapon was already drawn in the right hand. The shield is always ready to protect in the left hand.
While the arrow troops armed with arrow guns were also on alert. Arrows are always ready. The shield on the left hand is also always ready to protect.
But they now have no mounts because they are dead stuck in arrows. And their number is also half of the number of 1000.
Now they just stand on their feet. While at their feet lay the dead bodies of the palace troops who died without a fight. Not even a little bit of overlap.
And now they all agree on one feeling, that is, they both feel an irritating tension. Because until now they have not been able to ascertain where the enemy is.
They only knew the enemy was above the valley. But they don't exactly know for sure. Especially around this area is a fairly dense forest. The tree grows quite tightly.
While all the palace troops were locked up by the tension, suddenly from the top of the valley in front of the troops flashed about 50y body figures that emerged from behind the trees.
The speed of their bodies was as if a shadow was darting. And knew it was at the foot of the valley.
Of course the commanders and champions were surprised to see dozens of shadowy figures that glided so fast. But some commanders soon woke up from the war.
As soon as they saw the 50 shadow figures already at the foot of the valley, they immediately ordered the archers to shoot the 50 shadow figures.
But only then did the archer squad move forward, 5 shadowy figures that turned out to be Her Highness the Great Queen and her 4 Personal Guards did a truly awesome action.
Instantly the 5 beautiful girls flicked both of their palms forward. So at the same time each of their palms glided very quickly the pieces of flower petals with 5 colors that amounted to very much.
Because of the rapid incision of the pieces of flower petals that emit light 7 colors, directly hit the archer team that was ordered to shoot.
So that again there were screams of death followed by the collision of 200 archer squads.
The pieces of flower petals that hardened like thousands of pieces of metal just kept on darting and targeting anyone nearby.
Some war commanders and some palace champions, including some of his leaders can still dispel the arrival of strange attacks in the form of pieces of flower petals.
But 3 commanders and all the squad heads and dozens of palace champions were also victims of the strange attack. On the bodies of those who fell were planted a few pieces of flower petals.
While the pieces of flower petals kept darting backwards and smashing all the remaining archer squads as well as hundreds of merciless foot soldiers.
The cries of death that are so heartbreaking are heard more and more often. Accompanied by the collapse of the body figures of the palace troops.
Meanwhile, Her Majesty the Queen and her dozens of troops had already arrived before the palace troops. And without stopping the movement, they immediately attacked the commanders and dozens of palace champions.
But not long ago 50 magic people had arrived before the opponent, from the top of the valley behind immediately shot hundreds of combined troops.
Once they reached before the remaining legions of pedestrians, they immediately attacked swiftly and fiercely.
While the remaining palace troops are ready to attack again. So that it did not take long, the battle was immediately created in the middle of a valley that was quite wide and deep enough.
